An investigation on “Success of softwood grafting in jamun” was carried out in department of Fruit Science, Kittur Rani Channamma College of horticulture, Arabhavi during year 2015-16. Seven treatments comprised of different age of rootstocks viz., T1 (6 month), T2 (5 and half month), T3 (5 month), T4 (4 and half month), T5 (4 month), T6 (3 and half month) and T7 (3 month) were used for softwood grafting. The influence of age of rootstocks on the graft success and graft survivability at 60 and 90 days after grafting (DAG) did not show significant difference among the treatments. At 30, 60 and 90 DAG, significantly differences were observed for graft girth and number of sprouts. At 30 and 60 DAG, significant higher number of leaves per graft was recorded. Thus, the findings of the present investigation may be helpful in improvement programme, enhancing for large scale multiplication. | Studies on success of different age rootstocks of softwood grafting in jamun Syzygium cuminii Skeels
